Are you gainfully employed?

[scooterscot]

So brace yourselves for a massive collapse of the contract market come September.

Why are you going to take up all the jobs?

[Solent]

7 days to go at current client, no extension. Permie developer got made redundant today. Was going to take some time off for summer but have interview next Tuesday which includes SC Clearance so be a fool to decline

So you and I will be doing all the "who's working this weekend" threads.

UK based? Country going live on the mainland?

I've not been asked to work the weekend yet, I'm keeping my head down and not suggesting it to anyone .

It's a small Co 'Up Nth' so it won't be that manic until they start using it on Monday and then it may be a slow burner as it's a green field job not an upgrade so the users probably won't have a clue how to do anything. On the other hand they may be ringing my turned off mobile in a blind panic

Just handed in my notice!

Had 2 months to go on a 6 month gig but working for a complete git so gave the required 1 month's notice about 20 minutes ago - he took it well though as I lied and told him I had a few personal issues to attend to, nothing else lined up as yet so 'move up' it's the bench for me!

i'm not answering this poll as it is a pointer towards employment

[NickFitz]

On the bench by choice - may start looking around in a few weeks

[lambrini_socialist]

contract runs out in a few weeks but just seen my name all over a project plan which extends well into next year. pretty sure i'm gonna bail at renewal time though...

[Old Greg]

Getting dangerously close to the project go-live and letting users near the damn thing.

I try not to work on the kind of project that ever gets near go-live. Much better for the likes of me.

[VectraMan]

I think mine's about to go tits-up mid contract.

I'm thinking I'll do 2 months of plan B/bench time then start looking in the alledged boom time of September.
